Still on the fence?
Here are some questions you might have:
WILL I NEED TO PAY TO ATTEND?
Yes, this training is a $57 webinar offered by a professional writer and composition teacher offered live a couple times per year. The goal is to jumpstart your LTW essay writing. If you choose to subscribe to the self-paced LTW course, you can apply the workshop fee to the course.
WHAT IF I’M JUST STARTING OUT?
Perfect! This webinar and the full self-paced course were created for those new to LTW as well as those who have started using it. Many parents have mentioned that their students wrote better sentences before LTW, and I saw that in my own teenager, but I also knew how to guide students to create strong LTW essays with clear, concise, complete, correct, and compelling sentences.
What's your background, Cheryl?
I am a composition teacher previously to college students and now to Christian homeschoolers, but I'm a writing teacher different than any you've met—just ask my students! I have a bachelor’s degree in Scientific and Technical Communication plus the coursework for a master's from the University of Minnesota. I studied the writing process and teaching resistant writers including those with Aspergers/Autism Level 1 and ADHD. I am a homeschool mom of sons who completed Classical Conversations Challenges A, B, 1, 2 & 3; a former Challenge B Director; and an American Literature and short story teacher currently at a local homeschool co-op. I teach both adults and high school students how to use the best of the ancient ways (like those used by Cicero and the Apostle Paul) and modern techniques and technologies while co-writing with God using our Holy Spirit Advantage. In addition, I am an award-winning author, developmental editor, line editor, and copy editor. You'll find me to be a practical, encouraging composition coach.
